Name : pbzip2
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 1.0.5
Release : 1.fc10
URL : http://www.compression.ca/pbzip2/
Summary : Parallel implementation of bzip2
Description :
PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file
compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP
machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2
v1.0.2 or newer (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be
decompressed with bzip2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
New upstream package with following enhancements: * Now properly complains
about trying to read or write compressed data to terminal, and exits * Updated
Makefile to force deletion when cleaning * Added support to use pbzip2 with tar
(--use-compress-prog=pbzip2). * Added support for all remaining bzip2 command
line options so pbzip2 can be used as a drop-in replacement for bzip2. * Fixed
bug that would cause pbzip2 to crash if detection of the number of processors
failed. * Now prevents uclibc from being exposed to its lack of a getloadavg
function. * Added support for compression using stdin and pipes! Thanks to
Ivan Voras for supplying the patch to enable this feature. * Added support for
decompression using stdin and pipes but currently limited to only a single
thread * Added support for testing bzip2 files using stdin and pipes * Added
support to directly decompress files without using threads when files are small
or the system only has 1 CPU. This mode is also used if the .bz2 file contains
only 1 bzip2 stream. * Added support to compress 0 byte files like bzip2 *
Added support for pbzcat symlink to automatically specify decompression mode to
stdout, just like bzcat * Increased max supported path and filename from 255 to
2048 characters * Updated RPM spec to support SUSE Linux * Updated help
display to show how many CPUs autodetect has found
